Themed issue: Learning—postcards from epistemological, empirical, and organizational perspectives.

This article discusses a themed issue of the journal Strategic Organization that focuses on organizational learning. The issue includes articles that explore learning from academic and business perspectives. The first two papers provide new tools for researchers to reflect on their research assumptions, while the remaining articles examine how organizations manage tensions and competing demands. The collection of articles offers insights into the ongoing journey of organizational learning. In one of the articles, Ugur N. et al. explore the concept of exploration and exploitation in organizations and propose a new approach using text-based indicators to measure these phenomena. Their analysis of company reports reveals certain linguistic patterns that can indicate exploration or exploitation. This research provides valuable insights for understanding and measuring these important organizational processes. [Extracted from the article]
